Here’s the history of this cool costume and ideas about why Clint Barton is wearing it in the movie.
The first Avengers: Endgame trailer arrived like an arrow to our hearts on Friday, and we got our first glimpse of Hawkeye ( Jeremy Renner) in a cool new outfit, seemingly getting into fights in Japan and confirming a long-held fan theory.
Comic fans will recognize this as the Ronin costume, but why has Clint Barton — who’s been absent from the movies since 2016’s Captain America: Civil War — adopted this identity in the 22nd movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
It’s possible that he lost his family — whom we met in Avengers: Age of Ultron back in 2015 — in Thanos’ deadly snap.
